Yes I know its a weather NG but be fair, others post about these
topics all the time,
Anyhow it would seem the Arctic ice extent is at its greatest on this
date for eight years!
Have a look for yourself

Okay there will be the 'its first year ice ' comments and such but
lets be honest about the ice, rumours of its death seem to have been
greatly exaggerated.
You've been watching that little red line all winter now haven't you,
waiting for it to creep above the others so you could post this.
Only in January, the ice this year was at an all time low, I see you
don't mention that!
One spot reading is meaningless, as somebody else mentioned it's the
trend that matters. Let's see what happens during the summer in
the next ten years or so and then we might have something rather
than trying to claim one transient reading in April has any bearing on
anything at all.
